See? It works!

The NS37 mm is not a crappy gun like the MK108 , the trajectory is pretty flat compared to the german 30mm

Weakening parts:

Yes, that works. Damage is cumulative (but not DISPLAYED in damage tab). waekening wings with MG works, but given the power of well aimed cannon rounds in convergence, i dont think it neccessary to do it.

Side note: damages wings even rip off faster under stress.

Yes, AH guns model reduced damage for distance. Im not sure if they take into account velocity - kinetic E as well, but they DO model dispersion (which is a LOT more spread out at distance).

Reynolds: Noone says shooting at d1000 is impossible. Its just a lot lower% then at d100.....

Yes, but kills HAVE been recorded, and OTHERS do it too. im not the only guy shooting from far out, but it seems to work.

I close my eyes and pull the trigger untill I hear boom.

Just to add to all this:

I map ALL weapons to the primary trigger. Odds are I'm only gonna have a small amount of time to get bullets on the target, so I might as well get as many bullets on the target as possible.

I also have button maps for just firing the primary or secondary guns, for those extremely rare occasions when I just want to put some MG tracers over the canopy of a very distant target.

This goes for planes with all the same weapon or those with differing weapons.

And then I only file at convergence or below, unless the target is something large like a bomber.

This philosophy has served me well since 1996. ;-)

As the spokesman of the LAME (League of Average, Mediocre, and Erroneous), we average and mediocre pilots generally prefer to pull whatever trigger there is that can shoot anything that flies forward, when we think we have a gun solution.

Aiming at individual parts? Firing MGs and cannons separately?

The odds are, whenever we pull the trigger we're probably gonna miss anyway.

So we just let 'er rip and hope something hits.

OK no matter what plane i am in no matter what type of guns i am using here is what i do. I roll onto there 6 at about D200 out i get closer...then closer...then a little closer...then i start to fire...fire some more...then poof...*KLANG KLANG KLANG*(Sound of guys plane debris bouncing off my plane) then I go vert rinse and repeat.
